Oliver caught two passes for 21 yards on three targets Sunday against the Giants.

The veteran nearly reeled in his third target but officials ruled that it was not a catch. Still, Oliver was as involved as he's been all season in the passing game and his 21 yards marked a season-high. Oliver has played at least 30 percent of the snaps in each game this season but has only drawn targets in three of six outings. Baltimore hosts Cleveland in Week 7.

Likely caught two passes for 30 yards on four targets Sunday against the Giants.

Likely's snap share was roughly the same as it was in Week 5 but he was more involved in the passing game as he drew four targets for the first time since Week 2. He converted those looks into 30 yards on two receptions but has yet to find the end zone this season. Likely has seen red-zone targets in each of the last two weeks, however. The Ravens host the Browns in Week 7.

Yeboah reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Yeboah was promoted to the Jets' active roster for the second game this season during Sunday's win over the Packers. However, the second-year tight end was not targeted while seeing 26 of 30 snaps on special teams. Yeboah will now be eligible for one more elevation from New York's practice squad this season.

Hollister reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Hollister was called up from Minnesota's practice squad for the first time since joining the team in late September. However, the sixth-year tight end played exclusively on special teams against the Dolphins, appearing on 11 snaps. Hollister could stand to see two more activations while fellow tight end Ben Ellefson (groin) remains on IR.

Everett corralled five of his seven targets for 29 yards in Monday's 19-16 overtime win over the Broncos.

Facing a fierce and persistent Broncos pass rush, quarterback Justin Herbert was forced to settle for short passes most of the night. While the yardage total might look bleak, it was arguably an impressive performance by the veteran given Everett did compile some decent yards after the catch.

McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

McKeon was elevated to Dallas' active roster for the second game in a row, as tight end Dalton Schultz was still unable to suit up while dealing with a lingering PCL sprain. As a result, the 24-year-old hauled in his lone target for 10 yards while playing nine of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps behind Peyton Hendershot and Jake Ferguson. McKeon also appeared on seven special-teams snaps, and he is now eligible for just one more elevation from Dallas' practice squad this season.

Johnson hauled in four of six targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 30-26 defeat against the Bengals.

Johnson recorded a career high in receptions with starting wideouts Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) all sidelined with injuries Week 6. The 6-foot-4 tight end finished third on the team in targets behind running back Alvin Kamara (nine) and wide receiver Marquez Callaway (seven). Johnson also played 56 of New Orleans' 72 offensive snaps compared to just 23 and 16 snaps for fellow tight ends J.P. Holtz and Adam Trautman, respectively. While Olave did clear the protocol for head injuries Monday, Johnson could see yet another prominent target share if Thomas and/or Landry remain out Thursday against the Cardinals. Also, fellow tight end Trautman is dealing with an ankle injury.

Pruitt reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Pruitt was promoted to the active roster for the second game in a row during Sunday's win over the 49ers. With rookie John FitzPatrick (undisclosed) still on IR, Pruitt played 16 of Atlanta's 58 offensive snaps behind Parker Hesse (41 snaps) and Kyle Pitts (33 snaps). Pruitt did haul in his lone target for a two-yard touchdown in the first quarter, and he will be available for just one more game-day elevation while on the Falcon's practice squad this season.

Quitoriano (knee) was designated to return from the Texans' injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Quitoriano missed the first six games of the season after being placed on Houston's IR ahead of the regular season. Now, the rookie tight end will have a 21-day window to practice and return to the active roster; otherwise, he will be placed on season-ending IR. Quitoriano's first chance to play will come in Sunday's game against the Raiders, though he may start out in a limited role with tight ends Brevin Jordan, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins already on the roster.

Saubert (thigh) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Saubert was limited in practice this week, but he'll give it a go Week 6 and figures to share TE work with Greg Dulcich, who came off IR on Monday. Meanwhile, Albert Okwuegbunam was made inactive by the Broncos.
